' Washington - In a less-civil
bed world, May 1 - May Day
- meant the rule of pleasure
It was celebrated with wild
demonstrations and ' dances
round the Maypole.
In the Communist world,
ltay Day means the rule of
force. It is celebrated with
arms demonstrations and pa-
trades of tanks, planes and
l funs. :
II- Our society celebrates May
If 1 also, but we have come to
If celebrate something much less
- tangible, much less . strident
- but much more important in
, the affairs of men -i the rule
-''of law. -,.
This May 1, for the fourth
time, our nation will observe
Law Day USA. The day has
been: so designated by act of
Congress and presidential
- proclamation.
Local Observances
There will be radio and
television programs and local
observances throughout the
' nation. There will be displays
in schools and patriotic
speeches.
But this is not simply a day
for judges and lawyers. It Is
not simply a day for oratory
' and flourish. There Is only
' one real way to celebrate Law
Day USA and that Is to re
dedicate ourselves to uphold
ing the rule of law which the
' day symbolizes.
Because we are a free and
proud people, it is not al
- ways easy to bow to the law.

'In this acceptance of a judg

Striking Illustration
. We were given a striking
Illustration recently in the
electric price-fixing cases. Who
could help but be impressed
by the sight of largo, powerful
companies bowing their heads
to the law? ;-i !';',;'.
I think we are seeing the
same thing happen in the
South. While some of our cit
izens do not agree with civil
rights laws, men of reason
in the South do agree with
the importance of accepting
law.
It is this acceptance of law
- by the Individual - of which
we should remind ourselves
on this day, as I am reminded
every day by an Inscription
on the side of the Department
of Justice building in Wash

'Justice In the life and con
duct of the state Is possible
only as it first resides in the
hearts and souls of the citi

Dr. Arthur Kreisman, com
mittee member from Ashland,
said he was kept well-informed
on the committee's activi
ties through the newspapers
before he became a committee
member. The committee
agreed that a wide-scale pub
licity effort should await a
concrete committee proposal.
' The committee Is hopeful
of establishing a county home
rule charter, and is aiming at

group noted. This scheduling
would allow for a smoother

The committee has not ap

has decided, however that the

Macloed Maurice, , commit
tee member from Gold Hill,
read a written report of his
study of county powers. The
grp. up generally concluded
that . citizens assume under
home rule authority all pow
ers . allowed counties under
the state constitution. Restric
tion on powers would be pro
cedural, such as debt limita
tions, 'existing state and fed
eral restrictions, initiative and
referendum and power to
amend the charter by .the
people.
Letter from DeMarn
Ray DeMarrs, Medford bar
ber, submitted a letter from
a citizens committee in Jack
son county of which he is
chairman.
The proposed charter, he
said, should allow those pow
ers and authority as is pro
vided by state law, and any
additional powers should be
specifically enumerated in the
charter.. If added powers "are
needed, these should be re
quested by the people, he ex
plained. He suggested an
emergency clause to give pro
tection to government when
needed."
"Today, I feel a true citizen
of the U. S. must be a non
conformist when' it comes to
government controls and reg
ulation of the individual. One
limiting power should be to
prohibit legislation which
